VEHICLE TOP DUSTER.

Application iled July 11, 1922. Serial No. 574,248.

To all whom t Imay concern.'

Be it known that I, GRACE PEREGO, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of San Francisco, State of California, have invented a new and useful Vehicle Top Duster, of which the following is a specification in such full and clear terms as will enable those skilled in the art to construct and use the same.

This invention relates to an automobile top duster and its obj ect is to provide means whereby the top of automobiles or other vehicles may be kept clean substantially without attention upon the part of the driver, the duster bein so arranged that each time the driver drives out ot' the garage, or back into the garage, that the dust adhering to the top will be brushed oil, the duster being arranged over the top of the car and being of a length somewhat greater than the total width off the top.

Other objects ot the invention will appear as the description proceeds.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which the same reference numeral is applied to the same portion throughout, but I am aware that there may be modifications thereof.

Figure 1 is a front elevation ot' a portion of a garage and a. car showing the application of a duster in use.

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the duster as it appears detached from the garage.

Figure 3 is a side elevation of the duster.

The duster consists oi any suitablel rod l, in the present instance ordinary pipe is used and'two Ts 2 and 3 are secured on the pipe, said Ts having short horizontally extending lengths 4 and 5 connected therewith, and short upwardly extending lengths or' pipe 6 and 7 connected therewith.

Suitable double straps of fabric or leather 9 and l0 are used to support the duster, and buckles 9', 10 are provided to adjust the height of the duster. The straps are bound completely around the upwardly extending lengths oit pipes 6 and 7 to prevent them from marring theinish of the car. The horizontal rod is covered with several thicknesses of blanket or other fabric 12, which is slitted to torni a suitable wiper which engages the vehicle op each time the vehicle is moved into or out ot the garage.

The object of having the upwardly extending rods 6 and 7 connected to the horizontally extending member is to hold the horizontal member with its wiping fabric in the proper position to clean the car top, since if these rods are not used the wiper will drag over the top and will turn horizontally instead of acting as b-room.

In use the straps 9 and l() are suspended from any suitable portion of the garage, as for example, a bar 13, at a convenient height to brush the top of the car, therefore each time the car is brought into the garage or taken out, it is swept clean of dust. Screw eyes lll, '15 are ordinarily used to support the duster to permit it to be easily adjusted to the desired height. i

lVhat I claim is as follows, but various modifications may be made in the construction shown in the drawings and above particularly described form, within the .pur f view ot my invention. p

1. A duster for vehicle tops, comprising a bar, straps for suspending said bar horiv zontally from the ceiling of a garage in the path of an automobile, and a duster fabric carried by the bar and dependingl therefrom, adapted to wipe the top of an automobile as the latter passes into and out of the garage.

2. A duster Jfor vehicle tops comprising a bar, straps connected to said bar and adapted to suspend the same substantially horizontally from the ceiling of a garage in the path of an'automobile, a duster fab-l ric carried by the bai` and depending therefrom and rods connected to said bar and eX- tending parallel to the straps to prevent the bar from turning axially and being accidentally caught on projections of the vehicle top.

A duster for vehicle tops comprising a bar, a pair of adjustable straps for support- GRACE PEREGO.
